2017 - Week 12

The second to last week of fantasy football regular season is over! You know what that means; Fantasy football playoffs are just two weeks away!

There were some close games this week and at this point the playoffs are decided... although the final seeding is still to be won!



League All-Star Players

Julio Jones, Atl WR (GOOD): 50.8 pts (+34.0, over projected)
Antonio Brown, Pit WR (ZEKE): 40.9 pts (+21.3, over projected)
Keenan Allen, LAC WR (FENE): 34.2 pts (+19.6, over projected)

Julio Jones was a football god this week. Be glad you weren't coach Brandon this week.

League Bust Players

Kareem Hunt, KC RB (MoSW): 3.6 pts (-14.7, under projected)
Mark Ingram, NO RB (TACO): 5.6 pts (-13.1, under projected)
Dak Prescott, Dal QB (FENE): 3.2 pts (-13.0, under projected)

Since the first 3 weeks of the season Kareem Hunt has not performed well at all.

Best of the Bench

Alvin Kamara, NO Bench (BAD): 36.8 pts (+20.9, over projected)
Robby Anderson, NYJ Bench (FENE): 32.6 pts (+22.4, over projected)
Ben Roethlisberger, Pit Bench (Red): 30.5 pts (+14.6, over projected)

Unfortunately for Alvin Kamara, he's probably stuck on the bench despite his near 40 point performance.



 

Taco Tuesdays vs Ministry of Silly Walks

PROJECTED SCORE: 121.8 - 102.8

FINAL SCORE: 158.3 - 105.6

WINNER: Taco Tuesdays


Star Players:
Philip Rivers, LAC QB (MoSW): 28.9 pts from 434 yds passing; 3 TD; 0 INT
Jamison Crowder, Wsh WR (TACO): 27.1 pts from 141 yds; 1 TD; 7/10 REC
Rob Gronkowski, NE TE (TACO): 25.2 pts from 82 yds; 2 TD; 5/8 REC

Underachievers:
Kareem Hunt, KC RB (MoSW): 3.6 pts (-14.7 projected) from 26 yds; 0 TD; 11 RUNS
Mark Ingram, NO RB (TACO): 5.6 pts (-13.1 projected) from 36 yds; 0 TD; 11 RUNS
Jordy Nelson, GB FLEX (MoSW): 4.1 pts (-5.4 projected) from 11 yds; 0 TD; 3/5 REC


For the third time in a row coach Shane has the highest score in the league! That's an incredible feat that is leading to one thing- the fantasy football super bowl!

Taco Tuesday has a super streak going on!




Coach Kristin's team is doing better, but it's hard to beat Taco Tuesday while they're on a roll like this. Also, Kareem Hunt has become the biggest let down of the season. He started the season off with 6 TDs in 3 games, but he hasn't had a single TD since then. The Ministry of Silly Walks may need to consider a new RB #1.

"Fun" Fact: Blake Bortles has more rushing touchdowns than Kareem Hunt over the last 9 weeks



Zeke-a Virus vs The Bad At Footballs

PROJECTED SCORE: 122.8 - 106.4

FINAL SCORE: 130.1 - 70.1

WINNER: Zeke-a Virus


Star Players:
Antonio Brown, Pit WR (ZEKE): 40.9 pts from 169 yds; 2 TD; 10/12 REC
Le'Veon Bell, Pit RB (BAD): 28.3 pts from 183 yds; 0 TD; 20 RUNS
Carson Wentz, Phi QB (ZEKE): 24.0 pts from 227 yds passing; 3 TD; 0 INT

Underachievers:
Michael Crabtree, Oak FLEX (ZEKE): 0.0 pts (-11.7 projected) from 0 yds; 0 TD; 0/0 REC
Jeremy Maclin, Bal WR (BAD): 1.6 pts (-9.6 projected) from 6 yds; 0 TD; 1/5 REC
Buccaneers D/ST, D/ST (BAD): -5.0 pts (-9.3 projected) from 34 PA; 1 FR;


Coach Nick is bursting his way into the playoffs after another victory this week. Although, he may need to consider naming his squad to Team "Suspended" as he now has 3 suspended players sitting on his bench.

Team Zeke-a Virus loves a good fight




The Bad at Footballs are looking to keep their perfect streak in tact.

Commissioner Goodell vs Redmond SkiFrees

PROJECTED SCORE: 119.1 - 124.5

FINAL SCORE: 128.8 - 109.3

WINNER: Commissioner Goodell


Star Players:
Julio Jones, Atl WR (GOOD): 50.8 pts from 268 yds; 2 TD; 12/15 REC
Devin Funchess, Car FLEX (GOOD): 17.8 pts from 108 yds; 0 TD; 7/12 REC
Cam Newton, Car QB (Red): 17.5 pts from 168 yds passing; 1 TD; 0 INT

Underachievers:
Doug Baldwin, Sea WR (Red): 4.0 pts (-12.5 projected) from 20 yds; 0 TD; 2/3 REC
Leonard Fournette, Jax RB (GOOD): 7.2 pts (-11.5 projected) from 42 yds; 0 TD; 12 RUNS
Jordan Howard, Chi RB (GOOD): 3.9 pts (-6.7 projected) from 19 yds; 0 TD; 7 RUNS


Commissioner Goodell's players didn't actually play all that well. Oh, except for Julio Jones who got almost half of the entire team's points.

Julio was the team this week




Besides a slight let down with Doug Baldwin, most of the Redmond SkiFrees player pretty well. All coach Brandon was missing was one big star player. (Besides Greg Zuerlein who at this point is just expected to get 17 points when the Rams win).

Pro Tip: Having a star player is a good way to win games



Sports and Such vs Team FENELON

PROJECTED SCORE: 118.1 - 117.8

FINAL SCORE: 126.2 - 124.6

WINNER: Sports and Such


Star Players:
Keenan Allen, LAC WR (FENE): 34.2 pts from 172 yds; 1 TD; 11/14 REC
Zach Ertz, Phi TE (SUCH): 26.3 pts from 103 yds; 1 TD; 10/12 REC
Tom Brady, NE QB (SUCH): 20.7 pts from 227 yds passing; 4 TD; 1 INT

Underachievers:
Dak Prescott, Dal QB (FENE): 3.2 pts (-13.0 projected) from 179 yds passing; 0 TD; 2 INT
T.Y. Hilton, Ind FLEX (SUCH): 3.5 pts (-8.5 projected) from 15 yds; 0 TD; 2/5 REC
Emmanuel Sanders, Den WR (SUCH): 4.2 pts (-7.6 projected) from 12 yds; 0 TD; 3/6 REC

Congrats team Sports and Such! This was another incredibly close match that came down to the last minutes of the Monday night game. Coach Brandon managed to squeak by with this victory thanks to a clutch 20 point performance from DeAndre Hopkins.

Sports and Such's victory this week was juuuust barely there
Coach Patrick lost another close one this week as he continues his late season slide. The only underachiever Patrick has on his team is Dak Prescott, but this loss sits pretty firmly on Dak's shoulders. 3.2 pts from a QB is absolutely terrible.
Feedback for Dak: play better


Seattle Handegg Squad vs Green Bay Mermen

PROJECTED SCORE: 118.2 - 131.1

FINAL SCORE: 104.8 - 103.4

WINNER: Seattle Handegg Squad


Star Players:
Joe Mixon, Cin RB (EGG): 25.5 pts from 165 yds; 1 TD; 23 RUNS
Russell Wilson, Sea QB (EGG): 23.6 pts from 228 yds passing; 3 TD; 1 INT
Adam Thielen, Min WR (EGG): 16.9 pts from 89 yds; 0 TD; 8/11 REC

Underachievers:
Steelers D/ST, D/ST (EGG): 3.0 pts (-11.7 projected) from 28 PA; 4 SCK;
Travis Kelce, KC TE (RISH): 6.9 pts (-9.5 projected) from 39 yds; 0 TD; 3/4 REC
LeSean McCoy, Buf RB (RISH): 11.9 pts (-8.2 projected) from 79 yds; 0 TD; 22 RUNS


Coach Andre handed the Green Bay Mermen their 2nd loss of the season! His players were obviously pumped and ready for this matchup, so the Seattle Handegg Squad ended up with all 3 of the star players.


Coach Andre's players preparing for their big game against the #1 seed



Coach Anna's team lost for only the 2nd time this season... but it's not nearly enough to remove her control of the #1 seed in the league. She has already clinched a place in the playoffs and I wouldn't expect her team to underperform 30 points below the prediction again.

This loss doesn't affect Anna's position in the playoffs!




--- Coming up next ---
The final game!

Zeke-a Virus (9-3) vs. Green Bay Mermen (10-2)
Sports and Such (9-3) vs. Ministry of Silly Walks (5-7)
Taco Tuesdays (7-5) vs. The Bad At Footballs (0-12)
Redmond SkiFrees (5-7) vs. Team FENELON (5-7)
Commissioner Goodell (5-7) vs. Seattle Handegg Squad (5-7)
